Chapter 1259

Capital, Old Town, Bridge Street, in a two-person carriage heading to the Happiness Apartment.

"Actually... I don't hate you either."

After being silent with Leon for the whole journey, the green-eyed girl, who couldn't bear this awkward atmosphere, couldn't help but avoid Leon's gaze and look out the window:

"Although you might not believe it, the reason I did this is actually just because I don't want to delay your personal development because of my affairs."

"..."

"Also, you know, my situation is special, and it should be very difficult to leave the capital. If I form a team with you, you will lack a reliable teammate when you go on field missions."

"..."

"Also, my strength is not very good, and you are already stronger than most first-level cleaners. Forming a team with a newcomer like me is really dragging you down."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Ugh... feels like I'm being held a grudge...

Looking at Leon, who was still sitting upright and hadn't answered her words from beginning to end, the green-eyed girl, who was quite panicked, tried to probe hesitantly:

"That... Mr. Leon, do you have anything you want to say?"

"Yes."

After the two-person carriage stopped steadily at the entrance of the Happiness Apartment, Leon reached out to help her open the carriage door and then informed her with a blank face:

"Split the fare. This trip, besides taking me home, was also to take you to see the staff dormitory, so you have to pay half."

"Ah?"

The green-eyed girl was stunned upon hearing this, then said awkwardly:

"That... I don't have any money on me now, so can I..."

"1.5 copper wheels, pay me back next week."

"Okay..."

After being pulled out of the carriage by Leon by her collar and waiting for him to pay the fare, the green-eyed girl followed Leon and walked into the lobby on the first floor of the Happiness Apartment cautiously.

And the manager auntie with a head of white curly hair was wearing a pair of brand-new reading glasses, sitting in the duty room of the lobby with a hunched body, knitting that pair of wool that would never be finished.

"Hmm?"

After hearing the two approaching footsteps, the manager auntie looked up, supported her reading glasses and looked at Leon, then showed a kind smile.

"Back from your business trip?"

"Hmm, arrived in the capital by cruise ship this morning, just came back after handing in the report at the bureau."

Facing the kind manager auntie, Leon's face, which had been stiff all the way, softened at light speed, then he took out a beautifully packaged small bag from the mirror world, handed it through the small window of the duty room, and said with a smile:

"Aunt Mary, this is something I ran into on my business trip. It counts as a small gift."

"You child!"

Looking at the gorgeous label of "High-end Fine Spun Wool" on the packaging bag, the manager auntie smiled like a flower, but still couldn't help complaining:

"Wasting money again! This thing doesn't look cheap at all. You have only been working for a few months, and there are two children in the family going to school. There will be many places to use money in the future. Save where you can save!"

"Saving, saving." After responding casually, Leon took out a small metal box and handed it over, then introduced with a laugh:

"Aunt Mary, this is a gardening tool maintenance kit I bought in the Kroke Kingdom. Inside are grinding stones, anti-corrosion grease, rust-removing sandpaper, and wiping cloths that can be washed repeatedly. Uncle John should like it."

"Oh my, you child is really..."

Looking at this gardening tool maintenance kit that didn't look cheap, the manager auntie couldn't help but shake her head helplessly. Knowing that even if she refused to accept it, Leon would tell her he couldn't return it because the shop was abroad, she simply accepted the maintenance kit and took out a cloth bag from under the table.

"Here, take this back!"

"This is..."

"Wool gloves knitted for those two little slippery heads in your family, made with the wool you gave last time."

Looking at Leon, who looked surprised, the manager auntie smiled:

"Children of this age grow fast. I was afraid they wouldn't be able to use them next year, so I knitted them slightly larger, guaranteeing they can still be used next year... Don't dislike them for not fitting!"

Wool gloves knitted by Aunt Mary?

Looking at the manager auntie's kind smile, Leon's eyebrows couldn't help but lift slightly, then he reached his finger into the bag and touched the exquisite patterns knitted on the wool gloves lightly.

【Name: Exquisite Wool Protection Gloves (Miracle, Protection)】

【Appearance: A pair of children's wool gloves with neat texture, tight stitches, scratch and wear resistance, and excellent warmth retention. Although the knitting method is simple and plain, it is extremely exquisite and also carries a wonderful sense of warmth】

【Ability: Evil Object Extermination, Accident Avoidance】

【Cost: Special gloves that can only be worn by Melanie Laien. The user remembers to greet the manager grandma on the first floor when going out in the morning, but it is best not to always accept the fruit hard candies she gives, otherwise they may be severely reprimanded by Anna Laien】

【File: Children's gloves carefully knitted by a super senior knitting enthusiast with 135 years of knitting experience, using wool gifted by Leon Laien, a Food God criminal, country-destroying rebel, Traveling Thrush Prince, Nightmare World Destroyer, Nightmare of Death Messengers, and Virgo branch third-level cleaner.

Besides the effects of the anomaly itself to resist accidents and deter malicious targets, if the user suffers unjust bullying, it is very likely that an elderly muscular man named John will come to the door with a one-meter-long gardening shear to retaliate】

【Evaluation: I actually wanted to beat her up, but for some reason, before my fist was raised, a muscular old man who was 1.89 meters tall drilled out of the grass on the side of the road.

This old man didn't say anything, just stared at me with two eyes, and then raised a pair of shears with a polished blade and anti-corrosion grease...】

【Infection Value: 0.1】

Good fellow... This is simply a portable + single-person version of the Happiness Apartment. With these two little guys wearing this, ordinary third-level cleaners probably won't be able to do anything to them.

"Since they are specially knitted for them, then I won't be polite."

After accepting this precious gift for the two little guys, Leon looked at the manager auntie's soul, which was much stronger than the last time they met, and said with a smile in a good mood:

"Aunt Mary, I feel like your state is much better than the last time we met!"

"Is that so?"

After putting down the wool and touching her cheeks, the manager auntie said happily:

"Maybe it's because I've been busy again recently? After people have been idle for a long time, occasionally getting busy, the complexion actually gets better... By the way, did you see the situation of the new poorhouse on the way back?"

"Saw it. After the appropriation came down, it was built really fast."

Leon nodded upon hearing this and responded with a smile:

"And besides the new poorhouse, I also saw Uncle John. He was wearing a pipe engineer badge and laying pipes with the workers."

"Haha, that old man just can't be idle and insists on helping."

After chatting happily for a few more sentences, looking at the green-eyed girl following Leon, who was curiously sizing herself up, the manager auntie couldn't help but say "Oh my," and said embarrassedly:

"Look at me, I was just chatting with you and forgot to ask... Who is this child?"

She is an orphan here to live in the poorhouse.
